They are only for describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, and a specific orientation structure and operation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] A flare arm mounting support system, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes several supporting devices that cooperate with each other, and the supporting device includes a base 1, a support column 2, a beam 10, a movable seat 16, a rotating seat 17, and a counterweight 7. The middle part of the top of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the support column 2 in the longitudinal direction, and the top of the support column 2 is rotatably connected to the beam 10. The side of the beam 10 away from the support column 2 is provided with a through linear groove 101.

[0040] The linear through slot 101 is connected to a moving seat 16 via a moving mechanism, and the top of the moving seat 16 is connected to a rotating seat 17 via a rotating mechanism. The top of the rotating seat 17 is provided with an arc groove (such as Figure 3 、 7 As shown), the arc groove is used in conjunction with the bottom chord column 29, and the counterweight 7 is provided on one side of the base 1, and the counterweight 7 is connected to the base 1 by a connecting rod (as shown Figure 1 、 2 As shown, not marked in the figure) is fixedly connected to the end of the beam 10 away from the linear through slot 101.

[0041] The counterweight 7 is connected to the base 1 and is rotatably connected around the axis of the support column 2. The support device can adjust the position of the rotating seat 17 in three ways, including:

[0042] A. The rotating seat 17 moves along the linear slot 101 under the drive of the moving mechanism;

[0043] B. The rotating seat 17 rotates around the axis of the support column 2 driven by the crossbeam 10;

[0044] C. The rotating seat 17 rotates at the top of the moving seat 16 driven by the rotating mechanism; a plurality of supporting devices realize the support and position adjustment of the bottom chord column 29 through the coordinated adjustment of the position of the rotating seat, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0045] In this embodiment, the position adjustment of the rotating seat means that it can adapt to the position of the bottom chord column to achieve a supporting effect. The present invention uses three forms of rotating seat position adjustment to achieve comprehensive position coverage of the rotating seat within the rotation range of the linear through groove on the outer periphery of the support column. It is not only suitable for positioning and installing the bottom chord column of the torch arm, but also suitable for other types of installation occasions that require repeated position adjustment. When in use, there is no need to position the support column too precisely, which greatly reduces the difficulty of positioning and adjusting the required installation device, thereby improving construction efficiency, reducing construction costs, and avoiding material waste.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the base 1 is a disc-shaped structure, and a first annular guide rail 3 is coaxially provided on the upper surface of the base 1. A first annular slider 4 is slidably connected to the first annular guide rail 3. The counterweight 7 is fixedly arranged on the top of the first annular slider 4. The top of the counterweight 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the beam 10 through a vertically arranged connecting rod. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the counterweight 7, and the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1 through a positioning bolt 9.

[0048] The present invention effectively improves the support effect of the crossbeam by providing a counterweight, and the counterweight can drive the crossbeam to rotate, ensuring flexible adjustment of the position of the bottom chord while maintaining good support effect. The function of the positioning bolt 9 is to fix the rotation angle of the crossbeam.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figure 1 、 4 As shown, an annular positioning area 5 is coaxially provided on the upper surface of the base 1 where the outer side of the first annular guide rail 3 is located. The annular positioning area 5 has a number of positioning holes 22 evenly distributed around the axis. The positioning bolts 9 are used in conjunction with the positioning holes 22. A scale line 23 for marking the rotation angle of the beam is provided on the upper surface of the base 1 where the outer periphery of the annular positioning area 5 is located.

[0051] When in use, you can first draw an installation drawing, draw the placement position of the support column on the installation drawing, then mark the angle of rotation required for the beam, and then mark the position of the rotating seat on the linear groove, as well as the angle of rotation of the rotating seat itself. This realizes the positioning of the arc groove at the top of the rotating seat. After positioning the arc grooves of multiple support devices, the positioning of the support system when supporting the bottom chord column is realized.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 3, a number of stiffening plates (not marked in the figure, in order to improve the stability of the support column) are evenly distributed around the axis of the support column 2 between the lower part of the outer surface of the support column 2 and the upper surface of the base 1. The top of the support column 2 is connected to the fixed seat 12 through a thrust bearing 13, and the bottom end of the crossbeam 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 12. A second annular guide rail 19 is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the support column 2 below the thrust bearing 13. A second annular slider 14 is slidably connected to the second annular guide rail 19. A number of diagonal support rods 15 are evenly distributed around the axis of the support column 2 between the second annular slider 14 and the bottom end of the fixed seat 12.

[0054] Example 5

The two ends of the first lead screw and the second lead screw 25 are respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the linear through slot 101. The end of the first lead screw passes through the end of the linear through slot 101 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 11 preset at one end of the beam. One end of the first lead screw is provided with an active gear. Wheel 26, one end of the second lead screw 25 is provided with a driven gear 27, the driving gear 26 and the driven gear 27 are meshed and connected, the top of the sliding block 28 is fixedly provided with a moving seat 16, the bottom end of the moving seat 16 is slidably connected to the upper end of the beam 10, and the middle of the moving seat 16 is provided with an axial hole 24 that passes through the sliding block 28. The middle of the bottom end of the rotating seat 17 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 18 preset at the bottom of the sliding block 28 through a rotating shaft passing through the axial hole 24, and the second servo motor constitutes a rotating mechanism.

[0056] like Figure 3 、 4 As shown, mounting plates 20 are fixed to the ends of the rotating seat 17 where the two ends of the arc groove are located, and cameras 21 are provided on the upper surfaces of the mounting plates 20. The first servo motor 11 and the second servo motor 18 are electrically connected to the power supply through wires and a control panel (not shown in the figure), and the camera 21 is connected to a display screen and a power supply through wires. The control panel and the display screen are fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer surface of the support column 2.

[0057] In this embodiment, the rotation of the first servo motor drives the sliding block back and forth, which in turn drives the rotating seat back and forth along the linear slot, thereby adjusting the rotating seat's position. The second servo motor drives the rotating seat to rotate, further adjusting its position. A camera is used to capture visual information as the arcuate slot receives the bottom chord column. The operator can control the rotating seat's rotation angle based on this visual information to ensure smooth reception of the bottom chord column.

[0061] Step 2: Use a crane to lift the torch arm so that the bottom chord of the torch arm is placed on the arc grooves of multiple supporting devices, such as Figure 7 As shown;

[0062] Step 3: When the position of the bottom chord column 29 needs to be adjusted, the position of the rotating seat 17 of each supporting device is adjusted according to the position to be adjusted, so that the multiple rotating seats 17 can support the bottom chord column 29 again.

[0063] Example 7

[0064] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in the step 1, the drawing of the installation drawing includes: drawing the placement position of the support column 2 on the installation drawing, marking the angle of rotation required for the beam 10, and then marking the position of the rotating seat 17 on the linear through groove 101, as well as the angle of rotation of the rotating seat 17 itself, thereby realizing the positioning of the arc groove at the top of the rotating seat 17. After positioning the arc grooves of multiple support devices, the positioning of the support system when supporting the bottom chord column 29 is realized.

[0065] Example 8

[0066] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the step 3 includes:

[0067] Adjustment method 1: Push the counterweight 7 to drive the first annular slider to rotate around the support column 2, so that the crossbeam 10 rotates to a set angle, and then fix the first annular slider 4 with the positioning bolt 9 to achieve the first adjustment of the position of the rotating seat 17;

[0068] Adjustment method 2: The rotating seat 17 is driven to move to a set position along the linear through slot 101 by the moving mechanism to achieve a second adjustment of the position of the rotating seat 17;

[0069] Adjustment method 3: The rotating seat 17 is driven to rotate to a set angle by the rotating mechanism to achieve the third adjustment of the position of the rotating seat 17.

[0070] In step 3, one or more combinations of adjustment methods 1-3 are implemented according to the need for adjusting the position, such as implementing adjustment methods 1, 2, or 3 individually, or implementing adjustment methods 2 and 3, 1 and 2, 1 and 3, or 1 and 2 and 3 in combination. After the position of the rotating seat 17 is adjusted, the arc grooves of each supporting device are aligned in direction and the supporting structure of the bottom chord column 29 is re-formed, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0071] It should be noted that when the position of the rotating seat needs to be adjusted again, the torch arm can be temporarily lifted to separate the bottom chord column from the curved surface, and then the position can be adjusted.
